Heat up the tubing with just below boiling hot water or a heat gun and use a pair of needle nose pliers to open up the tubing a little bit and it should slide right on.

You can use a tiny bit of dish soap to lubricate the ring around the barb. ( I stress TINY AMOUNT)

Take a look a Linus's overkill build guide. (He shows how it works)

1/2" ID wont fit over a 1/2" barb?  :huh:

 

Are you sure you didn't accidentally get 3/8" ID?

You'll get it on, I sometimes use needle nose pliers to widen the tubing a little first.
